There are two dates – London (Thursday 18 October 2018) and Manchester (Monday 22 October 2018) – and it promises to be an interesting insight into my world, which is the world of an influencer in the perfume industry! Tickets are £25 for non-members and can be purchased here.

Hi Byredo Inflorescence Girl here.. just have a some questions …
1. Do you think when manufactures put in their ingredients list the word “FRAGRANCE” that they should list the chemicals so that consumers can decide if they want to use the product?
2. Are there chemicals in Fragrances which are a definate NO NO? to avoid because they are deemed unsafe?
